False. This timeline is wrong. Law enforcement officials started cleaning Lafayette Square after 6 pm on June 1 to allow Trump to pose with a Bible in front of a church, not because of a breach. Additional safety barriers were installed after these events, according to local and National Park Service reports.

“The entire Democratic Party and the national media have spent the past four years repeating without any evidence that the 2016 election has been hacked.” – Mr. van der Veen
False. US intelligence agencies concluded years ago that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 elections. The Republican-led Senate agreed last year that Russia interrupted that election to help Trump.
They mischaracterized the impeachment process.

“The House waited to deliver the articles to the Senate for almost two weeks, only after the Democrats had secured control of the Senate. In fact, contrary to the claim that the only reason they supported him was because Senator McConnell did not accept the article, Congressman Clyburn made it clear that he considered keeping the articles for more than 100 days to provide President Biden with a clear way to implement your agenda. “- David I. Schoen, another attorney for Mr. Trump
This is misleading. Democrats had previously considered handing over the impeachment article, but Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, then the majority leader, ruled out the possibility. In a letter on January 8, he informed Republican lawmakers that the Senate was in recess and “cannot conduct any business until January 19”.
Representative James E. Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina, suggested retaining the articles for longer after McConnell released his schedule. In an interview with CNN, Clyburn suggested that McConnell was “doing what he thinks he needs to do to upset President Biden”, but Democrats can respond to that tactical delay with one of their own to “give the president-elect a bid. 100 days he needs to get his schedule up and running. ”

“Our Constitution and any basic sense of justice require that any legal process with significant consequences for a person’s life, including impeachment, requires due process of law, which includes investigating facts and establishing a legitimate evidence record. Even last year, it demanded an investigation by the Chamber. Here, President Trump and his lawyer have not had the opportunity to review the evidence or question its suitability. ”- Mr. Schoen
